Find Ancestors

Please can anyone help me with finding birth of Ebenezer Vannan born about 1850 in Scotland He died in 1886 and his parents are given as Robert Vannan and Isabella Higgins Ebenezer married Mary McCallum and his occupation is Houise Painter I have all the details of the generations back to this point but cant seem to find marriage for Robert and Isabella as well as not finding birth for Ebeneze Both Robert and Isabella are listed as deceased on the death document of Ebenezer in 1886 Many Thanks Pam

Civil registration began in Scotland in 1855 so the most you can hope for is a baptism record on the old Parish Records

Have you looked on familysearch?

Hellen Vannan, 24,on the 1851 is shown as daughter - too old to be Isabella's so Robert was probably married before.

Could Ebenezer also have been married twice:

Name: Ebenezer Vannan
Birth Date:
Birthplace:
Age:
Spouse's Name: Mary Clark
Spouse's Birth Date:
Spouse's Birthplace:
Spouse's Age:
Event Date: 12 Nov 1853
Event Place: Kilsyth,Stirling,Scotland
Father's Name:
Mother's Name:
Spouse's Father's Name:
Spouse's Mother's Name:

Edit: that marriage can't be right - the Ebenzer we are looking for would only have 5 in 1853! Two Ebenezers?
